Pretty bad idea to redefine $charseq$'s rendering since it is used for many 
elements, not just uppercase-words (as I see in dbinline.dsl). So I defined 
in dbprint.dsl (and reference it in dbinline.dsl, line 116 for acronyms):

(define ($charseq-smaller$ #!optional (sosofo (process-children)))
   (make sequence
     font-size: (* (inherited-font-size) 0.975)
     sosofo))
